PITTsBURG, September 12.-The Times,
this morning, prints the following:
Republican concentration will carry
West Virginia next year without reference
to Presidential preferences" said General
Nathan Goff, of West Virginia, at the Mon
ongaheia House last aight. West Yir-
ginia is naturally a Republican State. 1t
is in all of its prominent physical charac-
teristics very much like Pennsylvania and
only needs the same developing influences
to make it another Keystone State. We
have more IoOd coal more limestone and
more mipetal resources, ali eleMents Of
bepubliCOn strength, than Pennsylvania
However, we shall all see the processes Of
development. They are coming sure and
sOOu.
Another thing that IL contributing TO
Republican success: the men in the Demo
cratic party who have done the most to
keep this party tOgether-indeed, the one
man who by his individual effort kept it
from aunihilation last year, was inconti-
nently kicked out and shelved by Bour-
bon Legislature last winter. mean eX-
Senator Camden. Mr.. Camden was par
excellence, the enterprising and liberal man
in IT, Democratic party. He is now out
of politics and his indifference TO his party
will .,e worth mGny vote to the Republi,

All in all, do not see any good reason
why the Republican National, State and
Legislative iiCka;s Ghogla not 20 through
in West Virginia next year.
Col Charles T. Caldwell, another West
Virginia politician and former Democrat,
said last night: THE principal reason
why l think we shall carry the State next
year is the fact that progressive Democrats
! are sick of Bourbon rule in this State.
There las been no GoVe Of 2 development

cratic domination. Men of the Governor
Wilson stripe abound and the faulty OF
the demagogues will not allow them to he
separated party and State rule. Their
principles tend not only to fetter the ply
steal growth of the State, but to darken
the minds Of the people. There is a syn

State, and the one desire of the progress

There is not one Of the four Congressional
